...February 2016 Decision Made by Terminally Ill Patients What if you think that your time is up, why not end it without suffering? Why allow your siblings loved ones, and others sit around and watch you die slowly? People who are terminally ill should decide if they want to live in pain or die. There are a lot of arguments about the family wanting their love ones to live instead of die, which is selfish. The family should also understand. If a person is terminally ill and not able to take the pain anymore, then they should end their lives upon their choice. Terminally ill patients should be able to decide not to suffer, make their own decisions and die with dignity. For one it is selfish to have an ill person suffering waiting on their death day. It should only be their choice if they decide to suffer or not. If you have never suffered before, then you wouldn’t know how bad the pain really is. No matter whom they are, regardless if it’s the mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, or any other close member of the family, have to understand it’s our lives. Pain is pain there is no big or small, pain is exactly what it is. “Legalize Assisted Suicide: A debate.”(1) Discuss killing someone to suffer. It discusses the fear of the losing capacity to make the choice to die. Those are some of the reason terminally ill patients should not have to suffer. Secondly, under no circumstances a terminally ill person should decide how he/she would like to end their lives. No one should push terminally...

...way; however you and only you can be responsible for your life and choices you make because no one can affect you and the way you choose to do things and to complete college you have to be responsible and push yourself. As Len Wilson said Wilson (2012), “Personal capital is closely related to person responsibility, when personal responsibility is defined as a person’s “response-ability,” that is, the ability of a person to maturely respond to the carious challenges and circumstances of life.” I believe that Wilson said it quite right. Ones’ choices show his or her responsibility. They can either do the right thing or whatever they want to do. You and only you can be responsible for your life and your choices. You are given choices everyday where you have to pick from option A or B sometimes life gives you more than two. You have two choices: You can go to college to get a degree to achieve a better paying job or you can work a full time job and work for minimum wage. Which one would you pick? You choice changes’ your whole life that one decision could take your life one way or another. If you went to college you would be there for 4 years achieving your degree. You would perhaps move to a new town, city, state or even country. Make new friends, date new people, work a part time or even a full time job, get your degree, and start working. If you went straight into working a full time job making minimum wage it is harder to get promotions to make more money. You would make new...

...where you do not have freedom because the government will make most of your decisions for you. Capitalism has many pros to go along with its economy. The government will change gradually, but is able to adjust to it with ease. Each person also has individual freedom with lack of government interference. We also have the freedom to choose what we want and when we want it. On the other hand, not everybody will have a job, and the government will not help him or her find one. If you do have a job, everyone will be getting paid the same amount of money as you do. It all depends on what you do, whom you work for, and how long you decide to work. Communism has many drastic chances at one time, but adjusting could be simple for most. The bad things about communism is that everybody has a job, but no matter how much you work or whom you work for, you will always be getting paid the same amount of money as everyone else. Another bad thing about communism is that consumers will not always get what they want because the government decides on what you sell; and what you purchase. As a Capitalist, when you go to the store to shop, you have a choice of what you want to buy. If you are communist, the government decides for you. Because of this, you cannot always get what you want which is why communism isn’t a good economy to live in. In our economy, you must work to make money. The more you work, the more pat you’ll receive and now you will be able to buy what you need, and want when you want...

...that his manager is engaging in illegal activities on the job. Emotional intelligence could be applied to this scenario by the man in the scenario making a decision to either be fired or stay with the company, and deal with the situation of his manager engaging in illegal activities. When being faced with these sort of issues, you must take into consideration that if anyone finds out that you do know about the situation it may come and bite you later. I was once put in this situation at my place of employment. I was being sexually harassed at work for a long period of time, until the situation became dangerous for me. I then later decided to let the superiors know about the situation, and found that they were very understanding, this situation later caused my manager to be terminated, and he has not been able to find any employment in the law enforcement field thus far. I feel that if there is something going on at work that makes you uncomfortable or uneasy, it is your duty to make sure you help protect the rest of your co-workers. Successful intelligence could be used in the sense of finding a unique tactic for dealing with the situation at work. If the gentlemen involved can come up with a creative way to let a higher official know about the situation it may turn out where he would feel more comfortable. I feel that if he would send an anonymous letter to a superior, and let them make the decision about rather to investigate, or choose to not believe it. This may make the...
